7 August 1975, 12:00, Benoni, South Africa

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Charlize as “you”.

Besides the Sun and the Moon there are four planets that are very important for personal horoscope analysis and define individual parts of your personality: Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.

Mercury is the planet, nearest to the Sun and it travels the fastest. That is why it is a very important personal planet, which influences communication, education, relationships, skillfulness and resourcefulness. Mercury also symbolizes transport and travels, especially short ones.

The position of Mercury in personal horoscope tells us how you think, how you communicate with the outer world and generally describes all the things that occupy your mind.

Mercury in Leo

You have a big heart, are honest, dramatic and ambitious. You like to make a good impression and are usually successful achieving this, because others find you a very attractive and interesting person. You often act quite noisily (if your Sun isn't in Virgo or Cancer), you make jokes and are highly articulate. You are fair and honest, but also pretty egoistic – you usually focus mainly on yourself. You are probably successful in movie, theatre and also in other similar artistic spheres. You also have a sense of finances, and can be successful in this area.

Mercury in 10th house

You are a nice, youthful, pleasant and dynamic person, always on the move. You probably work in commerce, marketing, writing and publishing. You are also often interested in politics. In your life and career, you often change things. You have very good organizational skills, although you can be slightly too demanding and you react too impulsively.

Mercury square Mars

You are restless and always active, your mind is always working. You quickly say things, often without reservations, sometimes you are also argumentative. You quickly get upset when things don't go according to plans. You have a combative and competitive nature. Because of these characteristics, others sometimes find you difficult. You can direct your excessive energy and inner unrest to sport that you are attracted to and often also involved in. You need to nurture tactfulness and patience.

Mercury trine Jupiter

You are usually pleasant, very sociable and open, also talkative, fun and interesting, that is why you are usually much loved in company. You are interested in everything, are clever and learn quickly, you intensely absorb and take advantage of data and information. You are constantly progressing, one way or the other.

Mercury square Ascendant

You can have a moody and dispersed, also too quick and jerky nature. You love company and are always in the midst of the happening, but you are also not always the most sociable and accessible person, you also often avoid more in-depth contacts. You sometimes have problems expressing yourself, usually because of numerous baffling thoughts and then you can't express your point. It is advisable that you write (or create in similar areas), even if merely for yourself, so that you can “pour your thoughts onto paper” and learn to articulate your thoughts, also make a selection between useful and useless information.
